Why Proper Leather Cleaning Matters
Unlike fabric, leather absorbs oils, dirt, and stains easily. Over time, body oils, pet damage, food spills, or even sunlight exposure can leave permanent marks if not treated correctly. Routine cleaning and conditioning not only improve appearance but also extend the life of your sofas, chairs, and recliners.
PROTECTION
Step-by-Step: How to Clean Leather Furniture Safely
Vacuum first – Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs from seams and creases.
Avoid harsh chemicals – Bleach, ammonia, or all-purpose cleaners can strip leather’s finish and cause cracks.
Test in a hidden spot – Always check a small area before applying any cleaner.
Dry carefully – Use a clean microfiber cloth to remove excess moisture. Never use a hair dryer or heater.
Use a leather cleaner or mild soap – Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with water or use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply with a soft white cloth, gently wiping in circular motions.
Condition the leather – Apply a quality leather conditioner every 3–6 months to keep the surface supple and protected.
